Weaving
The Chinese character Fu (福) means “blessing” or“good fortune.” When displayed upside down (fu dao), it sounds the same as the phrase meaning “fortune has arrived.” The reversal is deliberate — what appears inverted becomes a gesture of welcome In this image, turning becomes arrival; reversal becomes entry. The gesture suggests that fortune does not always approach directly — sometimes it comes through shifting perspective.
